My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: California
I wanted to know what are the rights of a second wife to assets in a 401K and TRAD IRA account. I found a lot of information on the internet regarding second wife due to divorce. What is my wife passed away and now I am going to get remarried?
I am 61 and my wife has been deceased for over 10 Years. I am now engaged and want to make sure my kids inherit my 401K assets. I am trying to avoid having to do a prenuptial if possible. I have read some information online that if I roll the assets over to a TRAD IRA and put my kids on as beneficiaries that would solve the issue since the TRAD IRA are not subject to ERISA rules. Any information is greatly appreciated.
